NTRecover
Winternals Software LP Page 5
To execute the client from this setup, you must boot the client computer from
the MS-DOS disk, ensuring that the drivers are appropriately installed (via
entries in the disk’s CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT files), and then invoke
the client with the command, “client”.
Note that in some cases the client computer’s BIOS may have floppy-boot
capability disabled, so you may have to configure the client’s BIOS to allow
for booting from the floppy drive.

4.2 Creating a Native NTRecover Boot Floppy
Native NTRecover boot floppies should be created in cases where no special
DOS drivers are needed to access client drives. Choosing the selection that
directs NTRecover to create a native boot floppy has it copy boot code and
the client software onto a floppy disk. The floppy must be pre-formatted, but
any data on it will be lost. When a client machine is booted off of a native
NTRecover floppy, the client is automatically executed.
